Christmas Day serves up a five-game slate with the closing match featuring the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns. It’s the first of three meetings between the clubs this season.
Dallas last played Saturday in a 144-119 pummelling of the Spurs while the Suns played Friday getting thumped 105-120 by the Kings.
Season Series
Last season the teams played four times with each team winning twice including one road victory each. Phoenix holds the all-time record between the squads with 96 victories in 172 matches.
Dallas Mavericks
Injuries have played havoc with the Mavericks this season and while Luka Doncic is having an MVP-worthy campaign unless Dallas can move up the ladder he likely won’t get the same consideration as Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, or my favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
On the season, Doncic is averaging career-best in points (32.9) and 3-point shooting (38%) while also producing 8.6 rebounds and 9.1 assists.
Mavericks Stats
Dallas is tied for 10th offensively (117.2) and is 23rd in defensive rating (117.1) with a net differential of plus +0.1 that ranks 18th overall.
The Mavericks ride the middle ground posting a 14-14 record against the spread through 28 contests.
Mavericks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kyrie Irving, PG (OUT indefinitely—foot)
- Dereck Lively, C (questionable — ankle)
- Maxi Kleber, PF (OUT indefinitely — toe)
- Josh Green, SF (OUT indefinitely— elbow)
Phoenix Suns
Something is amiss in Phoenix and it’s not just tied to injuries. Sure, Bradley Beal can’t seem to stay healthy but even with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker both playing there are fundamental issues with the Suns.
The logical answer is when they went out and signed a bunch of players to contracts using the veteran minimum they are getting what they paid for. That sure seems to be the case particularly on the defensive side of the court and from the reserve unit who struggle to keep pace with opponents.
Suns Stats
As of this posting, Phoenix is tied for 15th offensively (115.4) and ranks 19th defensively (114.9) while their net differential is plus +0.5 which ranks 16th overall.
The Suns have struggled against the spread with a 10-17-1 record through 28 contests.
Suns Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Eric Gordon, SG (probable— hip)
- Bradley Beal, SG (OUT indefinitely —ankle)
- Josh Okogie, SG (upgraded to probable —hip)
- Jusuf Nurkic, C (OUT — personal)
- Damion Lee, SG (out indefinitely — knee)

Free Dallas Mavericks vs. Phoenix Suns NBA Prediction:
With so many of the core units out or questionable for this match it will come down to a show between the Mavs Luka Doncic and the Suns two stars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.
The question is whether Doncic can prevail against the two-to-one odds and whose ‘others’ can step up to provide enough support.
I’m hard-pressed to answer that question given how poorly the Suns have played of late but Dallas is missing so many core players and are on the road so I’ll roll the dice on the Suns winning but take the points.
